About This Quiz

Deciding if you want to join the military is hard enough on its own, but even once you decide that you do want to sign up, then you need to figure out which branch of the military you want to be in. Two of the most appealing branches are the Air Force and the Navy. Joining either one of them would be something to be proud of, that not everyone could accomplish. But which one would suit you best?

There are a lot of differences between the two. Would you rather travel the world and go to a bunch of exotic ports, even if you were jammed in a Navy vessel with hundreds of other men, or would you instead soar through the air in a high tech jet, even if it seemed extremely dangerous?

Are you the type that totally freaks out when you have to fly on an airplane? Do you get seasick when you have to be on a boat? Do you look better wearing a sailor hat, or goggles? We have so many questions that if you take this quiz and answer a few of them, we can tell you whether you should sign up for the Navy or the Air Force.
